Source: Wisdom Library: KathāsaritsāgaraDhāreśvara (धारेश्वर) or Dhaneśvara is the name of an ancient holy place, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 66. Accordingly, as Hiraṇyākṣa said to a female ascetic: “... in the holy place of Śiva, called Dhaneśvara, there lived long ago a great hermit, who was waited upon by many pupils. He once said to his pupils: ‘If any one of you has seen or heard in his life a strange occurrence of any kind, let him relate it’”.
The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Dhāreśvara, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the vidyādharas (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
